The Nintendo Download – 4/18/13

Okay, first: My apologies for this running so late. It’s been a hectic day/week, and I won’t bore you with that. I’m going with a really quick-n-dirty edition of the Nintendo Download this week, basically just using the press materials (mostly) instead of writing my own. If you have a preference between the two, let me know in the comments, and I’ll take it into consideration going forward.

LEGO® City Undercover: The Chase Begins – This prequel to LEGO® City Undercover on Wii U reveals the origin story of Chase McCain, one of the city’s most celebrated crime fighters. Chase McCain is on his first assignment as a police officer, and it’s up to the player to help him clean up LEGO City. By changing into different disguises, Chase has access to unique abilities, such as putting out fires as a firefighter and breaking open doors as a robber. With multiple areas of LEGO City to explore and a boatload of collectibles, the chase has most certainly begun. LEGO® City Undercover: The Chase Begins will be released in retail stores and in the Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS on April 21.
